First in-character portraits of the ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ cast released!

We haven’t been this excited since the release of Deathly Hallows! Today, the team behind Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the first post-Potter story from J.K. Rowling, released in-character portraits of Harry, Ginny, and Albus Severus (their child!). It’s everything we hoped for and more!

The story, which will unfold as a two-part play in London, follows Harry, Ginny, and Albus as they navigate life as the Boy Who Lived and his family. 19 years after the end of Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny are all grown up, and the Boy Who Lived’s youngest child is entering his first year at Hogwarts.

We recently posted about the stunning statue and sign erected outside of the play’s venue featuring Albus Severus sitting inside of a Golden Snitch-like nest.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will unfold as a play in London, with previews beginning in June and the official launch in July. Rowling and team will be releasing the play’s script on July 30th for fans who aren’t able to make it to London to see the show live!

Dear Lytherus visitors: Our seven year journey as a fantasy and science fiction blog has come to a (hopefully temporary) end. As of September, we're entering an indefinite hiatus and are moving our operations over to Shurtugal.com, our sister site. There you'll be able to find familiar voices writing book reviews and reporting on the latest fandom news. We're not closing the door on Lytherus for good, as it's a project many of us would like to revisit in the future. For now, we encourage you to head over to Shurtugal.com to continue the adventure. Thanks for a wonderful seven years, and we hope to see you again soon!
